Jessica Baio’s SACRED is five days from spilling its secrets—January 9 via 10K Projects—and “got it bad” is the pulse-racing siren call that’s got fans whispering, yeah, this is the slow-burn obsession we’ve been craving all winter.
From the snippet alone, it’s Baio at her magnetic best: sultry indie pop with a hazy R&B undercurrent, where her voice glides over swelling synths and a beat that mimics a racing heartbeat. Think late-night drives down LA’s El Roy St., tension thick as fog—lyrics like “My pulse is loud, can’t turn it down” and that cheeky “Can you do the math? What’s one plus one?” flipping math homework into a flirty dare.
It’s all about that electric pull, the kind of bad that feels good: drowning in desire, demanding proof (“Show me you got it bad, so bad, so bad”), with a pre-chorus edge that love ain’t free—you gotta earn the keys. Self-written and produced in her signature confessional style, it nods to influences like Sabrina Carpenter’s bite and Tate McRae’s simmer, but Baio makes it her own: vulnerable yet commanding, a creative pivot toward bolder hooks after UNSAID’s rawer edges.
SACRED, part one of her sophomore swing, is an eight-track exhale on love’s fragile altar—tracks like “bad times,” “ferrari,” “accident,” the title cut “sacred,” “el roy st.,” and closer “made for you” weaving tales of understated devotion and careless breaks. Announced December 9 with a dreamy teaser trailer, it’s Baio reclaiming the unsaid: “I’ve watched love get lost in careless hands… some things are sacred.” No big-name collabs teased, just her and a tight crew polishing those live-wire performances she’s been road-testing, like that Tucson set where “got it bad” had the crowd swaying like they were under her spell.
Baio’s hitting her stride at 23, the Queens-bred phenom who turned TikTok confessions into sold-out rooms post-UNSAID’s 2024 buzz. Fresh off a deluxe drop and holiday acoustic runs, SACRED feels like evolution: less diary-scribble, more diamond-sharp anthems, proving she’s not just whispering heartaches anymore—she’s owning the ache.

Lyrics of got it bad by Jessica Baio
[Verse 1]
My Pulse Is Loud, Can’t Turn It Down
I Feel The Tension Through The Crowd, Let’s Tune ’em Out
I’ll Be Your Ocean, Let You Drown
Can You Do The Math? What’s One Plus One?
If You Want It Bad, We Could Have Some Fun
I Could Show You How, Show You How It’s Done
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t Know What You Want, But I Got What You Need
Say There’s Nobody Else If It’s Not Me
But If You Want Love, Can’t Take It For Free
If You Wanna Start This Up, Come Get The Keys
[Chorus]
Show Me You Got It Bad, So Bad, So Bad
Tell Me I Drive You Mad, So Mad, So Mad
Yeah, Look At Me Like That (Like That), Like That (Like That), Like That
Show Me You Got It Bad, So Bad, So Bad
[Verse 2]
Know I Got, Got You On A Chokehold
We Could Change Up All Our Plans
Know I Look Good, Don’t Gotta [?]
But You Could Tell Me With Your Hands
I Could Spell It Out If You Got Confused
Whisper In My Ear What You Wanna Do
Know I Like A Man Who Can Follow Through
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t Know What You Want, But I Got What You Need (What You Need)
Say There’s Nobody Else If It’s Not Me (Not Me)
But If You Want Love, Can’t Take It For Free (For Free)
If You Wanna Start This Up, Come Get The Keys
[Chorus]
Show Me You Got It Bad, So Bad, So Bad
Tell Me I Drive You Mad, So Mad, So Mad
Yeah, Look At Me Like That (Like That), Like That (Like That), Like That
Show Me You Got It Bad, So Bad, So Bad
[Bridge]
Don’t Know What You Want, But I Got What You Need
Say There’s Nobody Else If It’s Not Me
But If You Want Love, Can’t Take It For Free
If You Wanna Start This Up, Come Get The Keys (No)
[Chorus]
Show Me You Got It Bad, So Bad, So Bad
Tell Me I Drive You Mad, So Mad, So Mad
